let's find out, go straight over to the bbc correspondent nigel cafferty. let's start with this.e and many have failed in trying to do this. some of the reasons why they have failed? >> one of the big reasons, the original one, there was a bit of a conspiracy between the legacy carriers, the main players on the route, there was a lot of legal complications over access to planes. and, indeed, they influenced how people bought their tickets and they didn't have the financial muscle particularly when the bad weather came in the winter, not many people wanted to fly into new york. and the financially the business was kind of overrun. slightly different story, more recently, up to 2 1/2 years ago there was a spell -- asia run by the flamboyance -- it was flying after the likes of delhi and into london and paris, but it had the wrong plane. you mentioned the new dreamliner, they were flying. the price of fuel went up, they simply couldn't afford it. so we are in a new era now. everybody else, all the other low cost airlines are watching this very, very carefully to see if they may be b

reaction now in our first on cnbc interview with nigel travis. got to say, appreciate you coming back but i read a portion of the transcript of your conference call with analysts today. you talked about the early spring rain that you attributed to some of the sales disappointment. people don't drink coffee when it's raining? >> well, bill, this is a business that is based on ritual. if people are disrupted by very high storms or rain, they don't get out their car, they don't stop off at the drive-through, that disrupts their normal pattern. but i also said on the call the weather wasn't a major part of the reason we missed. we're disappointed we missed. it doesn't hit our normal high standards. but i think what was important about the quarter is, despite the disappointments, we saw some very good news. we grew our transactions and we grew it in an industry that seems to have stagnated. today npd came out with numbers that showed that in the 12 months to may this year, 61 billion visits were made to restaurants, which is actually lower than pre-re

as you can see it's frizzy and inconsistent and the tip here is you want to make sure that we have nigelan handle you that's so pretty. >> you need to have this small clips to kind of lift the root and then the other diffuser. the main tip here when you're drying the hair out, do not touch it. when you don't touch the hair, you make sure it's diffused. at the end you want to place it where you need it. while you're drying it -- >> don't touch it. >> we're listening of the we hear you. why are you yelling? >> russians yell. why are you -- let's go to karen. so this is what her natural state is like. what did you do to it? >> so karen's texture when texture like this, you want to make sure that -- you don't want to overshampoo this hair. our friend vicky has great products. we used whipping cream and you want to make sure you use a really soaking wet hair. what we did was twisted it. i will demonstrate. you twist it. you untwist it and you loosen the curl because with this texture, the main problem it's very kinky and tight. >> i know. i know. >> you know, hoda, right? >> it's adorable. i

nigel cassidy, bbc news. >> staying with this, technology expert rupert goodwin gave us his opinion abouts was such an important case for the wider web world. >> anybody who allows people to put content on their site on the service like twitter will have to hold back comments to make sure they're not defamatory before they're published and note proper identity of the publishing to be expensive and difficult to do. anyone who has a legal opinion thinks it should be overturned, but we just don't know. >> we'll keep across that one as soon as we get that ruling. let's talk about sport football, congratulations germany. nike is ending a 13-year sponsorship deal with man u. the slick kick will disappear from the team's football kick for next year. in a statement, the sports giant said the sponsorship no longer offered good value for nike shareholders. german rival adidas is reported to be in talks to take over as sponsor. we are talking big money here. the present contract with nike was $510 million, over 13 years. and now the british press reported german has bid up to more than 1.3 million,

nigel recently quit his job and is hoping to get hired at a mcdonald's in cleveland, ohio. >> the lineund from the door to the drive through and more people started coming and the line was going around, around the corner and all in the parking lot. it was bigger than any job fair i ever went to. >> motley is standing in line when he sees a silver nissan pull into the parking lot. two female passengers get out of the car and begin arguing with the women in front of them. according to police reports, the driver of the car has an ongoing dispute with one of the women in line and is at mcdonald's to confront had her about a financial matter. within moments, the fight turns physical. a bystander records the fight while security guards unsuccessfully try to break it up. >> people on the inside were coming out to see the fight. there were people everywhere in the parking lot, everywhere in the street, just chaos. >> motley is smack dab in the middle of the fray and isn't going anywhere. >> i'm in the middle of the parking lot because i'm witnessing the fight. >> but sticking with the fight pr

. >> nigel is not one to beat around the bush a lot. that he was very pleased with this quarter that they had. some of their international stores were not performing as he would like. but more importantly here in the u.s., what they're blaming them on believe it or not is the weather still. as he points out onka his conference call earlier today, we had a rainy, early spring. >> so people don't drink coffee when it's raining? >> that's exactly my question. where are they going to go for their cup of coffee even if it's raining? that doesn't wash here. so we'll talk about that. and we have many things to discuss. that stock hit an all-time high of $53 back in march and it's down to $41 now. it's been suffering for the fst few months here. >> thank you very much. we're going to look forward to the earnings. >> amazon's earnings are out after the top. >> 50 companies reporting from the s&p. take your pick. >> if the rains produce flash floods and block roads, theoretically, that could impact coffee -- >> if that was me, i would still make

nigel, ahead of ukip, comes along, he didn't go to university. he doesn't have a degree. and so he can say look, i'm not like these guys. i've worked as a commodity trader. i've done this, you, i'm an ordinary bloke or an ordinary guy. that may befalls but he's been a politician is alive, remember, actually. but it has a sort of grain of truth. people who are angry, they're not looking for a forensic sort of truth. they are not looking for to analyze all the circumstances. we just want a story, and his story is quite convincing to be sure the. >> host: i'm always very struck, the sort of obsession anyway in britain or maybe just the bridge press with class and schooling. you yourself -- >> guest: very famous school. i have a slightly unusual background because my parents were immigrants from, which are part of the old british empire. my first book was about empire. "ghosts of empire." i have an unusual relationship with british. came to the british in the city. i went through these elite institutions. i went to camp at university, and so i kind of got both sides. my paren

party anti-establishment candidates trying to oust in the democratic party there, and talking about nigeland the u.k. independence party. residents and a number ofr parallels. -- ofroadlyachel parallels. more broadly speaking, i hope people are aware because i have been writing about this, that democrats get hammered in midterms and that would mean gridlock in the last two years of president obama passed his presidency. >> i would say the germans are not too interested in congressional races are there interested in the outcome to see if there will be a power shift in congress and see how it will affect the last two years of the obama presidency. the germans are more interested in how you are going to settle these issues and come to terms and how obama is going to appease the germans. it is a tough time at the moment. they are more interested in the issues, but not in the congressional races. i was held in britain, popular culture has a big part of this. everyone watches the west wing, the big port -- point of reference. ."ouse of cards do not forget scandal. there is a fascination with th
